Yeah AzzurrA I must admit I was a bit :P when I heard they actually charge spectators

ive been to the last 6 saturday sprints at QR and they sure dont charge so yeah - surprised me a bit

but like Anna said - it comes down to the fact that people want to see it

(more so than watching porches, etc etc race)

as for old tyres - thanks for the advice peoples - will come one day but not this month im afraid

(have some serious money issues :()

there is no pressure, the spectators know its practice, alot of them are just friends of the people out on track.

so i wouldnt worry.. trust me i gaurentee ill be pretty average out there... depending on what part of the track we are drifting

there are 3 different Drift events held by QR

Friday nights are a practice night. you can access the track for $80 or get on the skidpan for $50.

Saturday nights are a competition night that is aimed at getting more newbs into competition. There are no tandem battles, it is purely points based.

Sundays is the DriftState competiton which is run like a traditional drift comp with 1-16 battling it out in Group A and 17-32 battling in Group B.

What time does the Saturday night event start?

I might give this a go for the fun of it~ :P But it sounds pressurizing, i'd very much rather attend some kindda non-spectated drift practice session, given the fact that i've got no drifting experience.

nah man its fun as.

just take a racing line and power over at the start of the corner and counter steer....thats how i started...now i use the hand brake for some good entries.

fun fun

Im the same as you - want to have a go but am scared of the shame !

Well my first run on the track will be the 1st of June, im sure i will stuff up, but hey thats why it is called the drift practice, all got to start somewhere, i'd rather learn on the track then do it on the street

skidpan is on the same night, its boundary is the plastic road block's filled with water

its $50 to go on skid pan.. its soaked with diesel

i dont believe they soak it with desiel, and i think the barriers are empty....though they still cause damage.

if you pay to go on the track the skid pan is included.

and it is a mad arse night guys...heaps of fun..i have been doing it for 8 months now.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
